Eleven Niang only returned to Liufu on this day, and the eunuchs in the palace sent the queen mother's invitation, which was to let the Liu family choose the best at painting to go to the Qingguan "alternative", this good news was almost immediately spread in the Liu's daughter's school, so it attracted a lot of children to discuss.

"I'm hopeless, even my pen and handwriting are picked by A-Niang, let alone painting." Liu Jiuniang sighed for a long time: "But if a real person is willing to accept a Taoist apprentice, I still have a chance." ”

"Good manner, how do you think of cultivating the Tao, carefully mother heard and blamed." Qi Niang pushed her sister, but her heart was like a deer.

She has been fond of Danqing's art since she was a child, and the most admired person is, of course, the Yingyang real person who is worth a thousand gold, but unfortunately "born at the wrong time", when Yingyang Zhenren chose an apprentice, she had not been born, otherwise there would not be the opportunity of Pei Hou, although Qi Niang also knew that Pei Hou was outstanding in painting, one in the water of Mei was actually accepted by Dezong as a royal collection, causing Pei Wu Niang to move Jinghua, although Qi Niang has not seen the real handiwork, but because Dezong once ordered the court painter to copy a number of rewards for the nobles to learn together, the Liu family naturally got one, it is said that the most realistic original, However, in Qi Niang's opinion, she is not very outstanding, she has not copied it, and she feels that she is not a few points behind, so she is sure that Pei Wuniang is sought after by everyone because of her teacher Yingyang's true talent.

Therefore, even if her cousin Liu Zhen has a lot of Empress Pei's paintings in her hands, Qi Niang has never had much interest in appreciating them.

This time, I learned that Yingyang Zhenren intended to accept apprentices, how not to make her complacent, if she can really be selected, her future achievements may be better than Pei Wuniang, if there are one or two masterpieces that are collected by the Heavenly Family, even if she is a woman, she may not be able to leave a name in history.

My own family has been invited, the fifth sister is not good at painting, even if she has that talent, she has been discussing marriage, at this time, she can no longer go to apprenticeship, and she is the only suitable person - Qi Niang did not take Eleven Niang to heart at all, even if she is at home, Eleven Niang has the love of her mother and mother, but in the end, she is just a concubine, how can Yingyang Zhenren put it in her eyes? Moreover, Eleven Niang is too young, even if she has some talent, how can she compare to her.

Among Liu's daughters, except for her cousin Liu Zhen, she is second to none in painting, and of course she is the most qualified to run.

The more Qi Niang thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't give up the whole day, not knowing that she had been seen by the sisters, which caused a lot of discussions-

"Let's stop being self-conscious, look at others, we are already confident."

"Alas, who makes the family a descendant, the painter has always valued it, and the guidance and teaching have always been more attentive than us."

"It's hard to say, not to mention the rest of the famous ladies, just in our clan, I don't think the eleventh sister will necessarily lose to Qi Niang."

"I also think so, although the eleventh sister is young, her calligraphy and painting are really good."

"But the eleventh sister is a concubine, I'm afraid she is not qualified to run?"

"What about concubines, there is no difference between concubines in the palace." - This is a concubine who is not convinced.

"This girl, how old is she, she is looking forward to entering the palace to choose a concubine." - A kid joked.

So the topic gradually turned off the floor and digressed for thousands of miles.

Of course, these discussions will not reach the ears of Qi Niang, and it is impossible for Eleven Niang to hear about it, she was entangled by Jiu Niang, who was left out in the cold because of Qi Niang's soul, and was listening to her persuasion: "It's a pity that Eleventh Sister is still young, I'm afraid I have to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Eleven Sister Don't Be Discouraged, Maybe Yingyang Zhenren Will Accept Apprentices in the Future, You Are So Young, Calligraphy and Painting Are Extraordinary, and You Don't Have a Chance in the Future." ”

Eleven Niang had a smiling face, but she was noncommittal.

I didn't expect He Zhan to directly persuade the Queen Mother to come forward this time, and the palace issued an invitation, so of course the Liu family would only let her be elected, with Mrs. Wei's scheming, where would you not think that this was the Queen Mother's intention to benefit from intimacy, but this benefit is not a blessing, I don't know how the Queen Mother will use it in the future, Qi Niang is Mrs. Tai's granddaughter, Mrs. Tai will not let Qi Niang bear the risk anyway, this is not Mrs. Tai's partiality, Qi Niang, whether it is wisdom or mentality, is not suitable for getting involved in treachery, or it is best to avoid it. Moreover, even if Mrs. Tai is eccentric, it is human nature, and Eleven Niang does not feel unfair at all.

However, Eleven Niang missed the Xiao family.

At this time, in the Xuxiao Hall, Xiao Shi was discussing with Mrs. Tai.

"Although it is a rare opportunity for Yingyang to accept apprentices, but this matter was instigated by the Queen Mother, although I am not sure what the intention is, it is not a good thing after all."

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not like that, Ah Jia, according to my daughter-in-law's thoughts, let's not participate in this matter." ”

Mrs. Wei frowned: "The post is sent to us, if you ignore it completely, I am afraid that it will make the Queen Mother suspicious, right now my brother is winning over Xinyi, Yuyi has been promoted again, and he lives in the household department, even Junyi, and is forced to become Xie Raoping's subordinate, even if our family wants to be alone, the situation is like this, it is not allowed." ”

Xiao Shicai lifted it again with a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Tai say: "Let Yiyi run for election, if she can win Yingyang's real heart, it will also be her luck." ”

Xiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was insightful by Mrs. Tai.

"You are worried, I know it in my heart, but don't forget that Ling Xutian Master broke off, it is really destined to be those four words, we can't stop it, and since this period of time, I have seen the child's words and deeds in my eyes, it is indeed extraordinary, it is a blessing for the Qiniang sisters, it may not be the same for her, Xingzhou, I am also the same as you, in fact, the most hopeful thing is just to let the children be safe and happy, but the situation is forced to have a trade-off."

The mother-in-law said to this extent, Xiao had to swallow the words of resignation, but said: "Eleven Niang is still young after all, if our family only let her run for election, it will be too child's play in the eyes of others, if it is selected, it will be fine, if it is not selected, the queen mother may not doubt that we are perfunctory, so the daughter-in-law thinks that Tingniang is also the daughter of the Liu family, and Yu Danqing's art is not without talent, Mo Ruo...... Let her run for election with Eleven Niang. ”

After saying this, Xiao Shi was very worried in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wei knew Xiao Shi's thoughts, but she only smiled slightly: "It's okay for you to plan like this." ”

Xiao Shi took a breath and said goodbye, only to sigh - motherhood, in the end, is selfish, knowing that her mother-in-law plans to do the overall situation, but she still doesn't want to see Eleven Niang get involved in this treacherous turmoil at a young age.

As for Liu Ting...... Although it is also cardamom Shaoai, since he has the determination to take his younger brother to join his relatives, it can be seen that he is not willing to be mediocre, although this matter is risky, but it is also a great opportunity.

If there is, it should be explained to Ting in person.

Xiao Shi made up his mind, so he went to find Tinger first and told her that she was going to go to Shangqing to watch the election.

Of course, this was completely unexpected by Liu Ting, and she was stunned for a while.

Although she is the daughter of the Liu family, she has self-knowledge, she is not in the Jingzhaoliu family, she can only be regarded as a relative of the same clan, so many daughters of Jingzhaoliu are not eligible to run, she has no hope at all, where did she think that she would be so lucky.

"There are some things, I don't want to talk to you in detail, there are too many complicated situations, you may not understand it now, but even if you have the opportunity to be selected, maybe it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, I can only remind you that Yingyang Zhenren's choice of apprentice this time should be from the intention of the Queen Mother, although there is the luck of learning from the nobles, it may also involve other things, such as marriage, I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself in the future."

Liu Ting is a smart person, although Xiao's words are not as powerful, she can also understand a thing or two, she is not in a hurry to express her position, but she has been silent for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "Don't hide it from my aunt, although my niece is small, but because there is no high hall, there were originally some considerations about the future, and there are many nieces and sisters and sisters to be sheltered by Mrs. Tai and aunt, and my brother has been given time and advice from two uncles, which is really fortunate, although the elders are loving, but the niece cannot be cared for in vain, I am the eldest sister, and I should become a brother to rely on, but I have self-knowledge, If you compromise with the lives of the elders in the family, you will definitely be mediocre in the future, not only can you not help your brother, but may even become a burden. ”

Liu Junyi went to Jiannan Province to serve, Xiao Xiaojiu and Liu Qian had to be taken over by Liu Shiyi, usually there are curtain masters to supervise and teach, and Liu Shiyi is responsible for explaining the meaning and examining, but it is stronger than entering the family, Liu Ting naturally feels lucky.

But Xiao Shi didn't expect Ting to think of such a long-term transparency in the future, and these categorical words made her feel more touched and compassionate, but sighed: "Don't worry, you are relatives of the same clan, and in the future, your sisters and brothers will be no different from my nephews and nieces." ”

Although this is not a guarantee of wealth and glory, Xiao Shi said sincerely, and Liu Ting can naturally understand the meaning of it, and she is very grateful.

Xiao Shi then found Eleven Niang to advise: "Auntie's words today, Yiyi must keep it in mind, although this time Yingyang really chooses an apprentice, and the eldest mother allows you to run for the election, but you ...... Remember to be cautious and don't show off your talents. ”

Eleven Niang was surprised in her heart, but she saw Xiao's solemn and solemn expression, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood what she was thinking, and for a while, she felt inexplicably grateful.

Although she knew in her heart that all this was because of the past relationship between Jiang Ji and Xiao, who had passed away, after all, she was the one who was cared for now.

But she knew better in her heart that she could only live up to Xiao's love.

This time, Yingyang accepted the apprentice, and the winner could only be her.

From the very beginning, she chose to be treacherous.

On this night, Liu Tinger and Eleven Niang were certainly unable to sleep with their own hearts, but the one who couldn't sleep was of course Liu Qiniang, who encountered a thunderbolt from the sky.

Xiao has already told his daughter that he will not let her go to Shangqingguan to run for election.

Liu Jiuniang felt that it didn't matter, but was glad for Eleven Niang, and pulled the seventh sister chatter: "I thought at first that the eleventh sister would lose this opportunity because she was still young, and I didn't want the eldest mother to allow her to run, this is good, the eleventh sister is smart and talented, and will inevitably be selected by Yingyang Zhenren, our family can get a name in Jinghua in the future, but unfortunately my mother did not allow me to go to Shangqing to watch the bystanders that day, although I am not good at calligraphy and painting, I can be satisfied with the excitement, Sister, why don't we go to the eldest mother to ask for mercy?" By the way, we can pick up Xiao Jiu, let him come forward, and the eldest mother will allow ......"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Liu Qiniang couldn't help but shout heavily: "Enough!" ”

Jiuniang was dumbfounded.

Qi Niang almost didn't pinch her fingertips into her palm, and finally held back her tears: "I'm sorry Ninth Sister, I'm a little uncomfortable, my tone is not good, don't blame me." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked away, locked himself in the boudoir, and didn't even go to Xuxiao Hall for dinner.

Mother is really partial, she is her own daughter, why is she only planning for Eleven Niang everywhere, she is just a maidservant daughter!

Qi Niang turned to the inner wall, rolled herself into the brocade quilt, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.
